Sunken Coal Boats Wrecked Near New Orleans
Pittsburg and Southern Coal Company reports recovery efforts after a Gulf hurricane sank over 100 loaded coal boats near Nine Mile Point Landing. They will recover about 30 percent of $500,000 in fuel losses, with difficult dredging from depths over 50 feet. Each boat held 30,000 bushels and valued around $3,000, and crews aim to prevent more sandbars by wrecking remaining sunken craft.
